My thoughts on this vpilf thing

[pokerfan]

I hope that those portraying her as a sex object are attempting to undermine her by reducing her to a mere bimbo. (e.g. she wants to be seen as a sex symbol, let's treat her like one...)

This is obviously offensive to a large segment of the population who perceive this as an attack on women in general and plays directly into the repug strategy for nominating her in the first place.

This creature is repugnant enough on the issues without having to go there.

My advice is to leave the bimbo card to late night television but be careful playing it yourself. That's what I intend to do, anyway.

1. Just came from a vpilf thread, but it was about Biden!

9. Yep, me, too. LOL! (nt)

2. The pick itself was sexist

McCain and the RNC clearly just think that any women (or any other demographic category) can simply replace the like. They are all alike. That is sexist.

4. Exactly

No more needs to be said.

7. I agree completely...

they are using her purely on the basis of her looks and her sex. This does nothing to further the fact that there are many intelligent, accomplished women who are more than capable of being President of the United States.

3. Paris Hilton was their first choice. That's why they featured her in the ad.

:evilgrin:

5. Coulter was their second choice

But they were afraid she would scare the children.

6. Here's a picture showing how calling her a bimbo won't play into the GOP's strategery ...

8. Help me expose Norm Coleman's behavior toward women

If you really want to stop the right-wing wing-nuts, here is a concrete way: Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman is one of George W's biggest lapdogs. He has also fought gay marriage, claiming it's because he's so interested in preserving the "sanctity of marriage." At the same time, there are many reports about Mr. Family Values' extra marital affairs, his sexual harassment of women in bars, restaurants and elsewhere, his racist comments, and his receipt of illegal "gifts" (campaign contributions in the multiple thousands of dollars at a shot). At the same time, he is airing commercials featuring his alleged "wife", to show how much of a family man he is. He is also criticizing his opponent, Democrat Al Franken, for writing what Norm calls "porn" 20 years ago. Well, Al may have WRITTEN porn, but Norm LIVES IT. We are now working on an expose about Norm and his treatment of women. Please, if you want to help stop the madness of the republican right, contact me if you have ANY information about that hypocrite Coleman that might be helpful or relevant. Thank you.

10. I'd like to see no more posts with the term "vpilf" in them.

I hate Palin but I still find that offensive.
